At admin/config/search/apachesolr/settings/solr/edit config page there is field Solr server URL with help text "Example: http://localhost:8983/solr". There should not be URL to server roor - /solr, but URL to Solr core what is configured there - /solr/core_name.

I am new to Solr and I spend more time than could be nice to determine this.

You should update help text to something like this: "Example: http://localhost:8983/solr/my_core_name"

Solr 1.4 and solr 3, even some versions of solr 4 I think can start in a non-multicore mode (which is the default). This all points to the default path we have set in the module. We expect a minimal level of understanding of solr so that you configure this path correctly for yourselves. We could perhaps change it so that it mentions both possibilities in the documentation. Any other ideas? Happy to listen

So write there:
"Example: http://localhost:8983/solr or http://localhost:8983/solr/my_core_name (if you use Solr's multicore setup)"
